The last post showed a nice little glimpse of Ellie's baptism day. This post will give you a more personal, albeit more candid view of the day:
Ellie's dress may have looked pretty from a distance...
but look more closely and you will see that I still can't sew in a straight line.
I never did get around to printing her invitations, but I did send this by email to a few people who I didn't think would be insulted by receiving it a mere 12 hours beforehand.

Here's the ALL ABOUT ELLIE section I put in in the baptismal program:

And here's a look at the "I apparently photoshop about as well as I sew" picture of Ellie I put on the front of the program:
*******************************
And one last glimpse of my sorry attempt to make up for the "C-" I got in Sewing 101 at BYU.
*******************************
And last, but not least.....
Ellie's slightly menacing note written to Adam the night before her baptism:
Translation:
Hi Adam,
Can you set the alarm clock for 7:40?
Thanks,
Ellie
PS Write back on piece of paper. There's no choice if you want to see me get baptized.
